hi i just purchased a inspire yesterday and had a captivate before hand. going to root my phone and wondered what people here think is the best rom for this phone ??
I really liked CoreDroid a lot and used it for a week or so then switched to cyanogenmod7 for a few days. Definitely prefer CoreDroid over cm7. Now I'm running LeeDrOiD and think I may prefer this over the other two.
Just find a few you like and try them out for a while. You'll figure out which is best for you

What do you like about leedroid? I saw it has a larger speaker boosts... are the notifications noticeably louder? Give me your low-down on LD
If you want no frills and solid, snappy performance and response...I highly recommend Ingersol ROM.
Maybe its cause I'm older, but I really dig that ROM.
i use to run cognition on my captivate it was a pretty good rom
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033434 its also the only GB rom specifically built for the inspire 4g but it doesnt have some of the cooler stuff but its got insane speed
I've only been using LeeDrOiD for a few hours so I can't say much. Initially everything appears to maintain the stock sense look without the graphic tweaks from CoreDroid. Battery seems a little better with LeeDrOiD but it's still too early to tell.
My first LeeDrOiD flash ended up with me stuck in a force close loop that I attribute to my own mucking around in the build properties file. I reflashed and it seems fine so far but I haven't rebooted yet after reinstalling my apps.
I went with LeeDrOiD because it seems to have more under the hood tweaks and optimizations that I like. If this isn't satisfactory ill probably be back to CoreDroid.
As far as audio, it seems about as loud as cm7. CoreDroid was louder if I remember rightly and my ears don't deceive me. That may just be from different test sounds though. Seems plenty loud on LeeDrOiD though.
EDIT: Just did some more test listening to LeeDrOiD.. seems about the same as I remember CoreDroid being. I've also rebooted the phone the the force close loop is not there. Must have been my own fault before, thankfully.

Bubby's one click is what I used. Quick and easy, but you need to follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. 99% of the issues people have with bubby's program is because they skip, tweek or misunderstand steps.

Yes. This. Watching the YouTube video also helps a lot. Even for the more experienced users its a good thing to even check out. There are small little steos, like closing out of the terminal app on the phone with the back button, that may go overlooked.

I made a gold card using the SimpeGoldCard GUI and then used Bubby's tool.
ROM: RCMix 5.9x series (with Sense, but has 'extra' to go senseless). It's also CWM enabled for OTA updates now.
sense isnt to bad as a launcher i used touchwiz before cause of the captivate. way more steps to root compared to it. but as long as you follow the steps its all good
think I might switch from captivate to inspire. what's the main difference, OP?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i like it so far. got more ram then the captivate. more gingerbread roms then the cappy from what i scene. rooting is more difficult but if you follow the developers directions is pretty easy. the one problem i have is removing the batter cover and sim card its a pain in a butt lol. but i would consider it a upgrade compared to the cappy. of course the sgs2 may come to att so u may wanna wait for that if your upgrading the phone.
CM7 or anything based on it in my opinion, but I hate every manufacturer UI.
CM7 Inspire 4G

Is the touchwiz basically a launcher replacement? Could it be added to the rom you are already running (Prime, for instance, etc...) if someone put it together that way?

No, TouchWiz Honeycomb is a vast improvement over stock Honeycomb.
Have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGz-51qUH90. It's more than a Launcher.
Thank you for re-posting this, as MOD moved the last one to themes and apps when it is clearly a rom post. Just needs a proper DEV.

"i think im just going to pass this off to whoever wants to take it up. Ill help, but i just dont have the experience with tegra devices to do this port, nor the time to gain that experience. sorry for the tease "
We need a real dev with transformer experience here
I want to try this,but i'll wait until it has a few updates under its belt.
I just installed it for the fun of it .. neat
Tried it and quickly went back to prime+netformer.
Autorotation doesnt work so as wifi.
Though it looks pretty nice - great start, now we need dev volunteers to keep up the torch and continue with development
Mdj is working on it. Same as the one for the a500 (Virtuous Galaxy)
Problems:
- "Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low". Message appears all the time. The device is not charging and it is not even hot.
- Wifi not work
- Auto rotation not work
- Camera not work
I restored to the Prime 1.5 version, but Touchwiz looks much better. Hopefully someone will fix problems
Tried it, hated it, reverted back to Prime 1.4.
Omg jizzzz I want it but will have to wait.....

If your phone lags as you say, and you are on gingerbread, you should do more research.

Everytime the phone lags, random reboots or you have other problems or issues- simply Odin your phone and you won =)

do a factory reset 3 times and clear caches 3 times. i would say just a bad flash. my phone runs super fast and smooth.
Look i didnt want to be rude or anything im just having a hard time with this phone. And ive done eveything i know to fix it, Odin stock 2.2.1 , stock 2.3.4 and stock2.3.6 and valhalla and octane via cwm. But i dont know what it is that everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up. I have the link2sd running i have the fota fix i have the battery calibrate and like i said the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. i dont know whats wrong is it an app? a game? I really dont know and another thing is whats the best rom for this device and should i leave it like it is or shliud i install other things with it. Thats really my question.

From a clean install I have been on Valhalla... but until the latest universal adrenaline it did not seem the way I thought it should. Now my phone flies.
I'd be willing to bet your issues stem from a bad app causing an issue... have you researched that at all?
I would also encourage installing QuickPic and freezing the stock gallery... it is a CPU HOG!! QuickPic is liter and has a ton more options. I'm not affiliated... just noticed the stock gallery at times could take 50-60% of the CPU, even when I was not using it. F that.
Also, the newest Valhalla will be built off the newest OFFICIAL gingerbread... and we have source now for GB... so, things are on the up and up. Hold on to the phone for a bit.
I've noticed (at least for me) that restoring data through titanium gives me force close issues sometimes.

Hiya.
I think that if you start a thread with I hate my phone, you should expect more than flaming. It would be better that if you did your research and didn't found what you want. Then how about starting your post with something more detailed or, what you did to your phone in steps, to see if someone could help you in better way. Also I've seen a lot in this forum from people demanding, using every gibberish word that they could find, and SO they still get helped.
There're still few good fellas out there that love to help no matter what words you use.
My 2 cents

This perfectly summarizes your original post in this thread. You'd get more help if you made a post actually asking for help, instead of just bashing the phone. There are many of us here that have zero lag, and very smooth running apps.

There are a couple of things that can cause this. but some more info is needed about your phone.
I believe your problem is that you are using the Link2sd app. It has been my experience that it does not play well with Gingerbread. It has given me problems when I link to my external SDcard.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the last I heard Link2sd doesn't work properly on Gingerbread regarding EXT4 on the external SDcard?
Do you have your voodoo enabled?
Just asking..
So i should get rid of the link2sd app?? and what about using another kernel like kj1 and the adrenaline shot XIX?? and yes the voodoo is enable. Anothet thing if i just use the fota fix apk to get more internal memory. Can i install most of my apps?? right now i have like 25 apps besides the stock ones

I've been using Link2Sd for about 2 weeks now on both Valhalla and Octane, and I have not had any problems at all. I just let it move the Apps automatically and then I use the Create Link feature and it does the rest. I have 92 Apps and I still have around 250mb of space left.

Try again
I don't get the flame, either. You're having problems with your phone and came looking for advice (I assume). This is my sixth phone and I like the SGS4G quite a bit. I suggest you flash again with the stock KD1, then flash the Samsung released 2.3.6. There is an Odin-friendly tar on another thread in Q&A that was started today or yesterday. Should be easy to find. (I also that on my Win7 machine I can retrieve the tarball from the download cache completed through kies mini and use that.) NO overclocking I get quadrant scores in the 17-1900 range. The scrolling between panes is smooth, my wifi is good at home (personal security) and in my office (enterprise security). I have a bit under 80 contacts, I do e-mail, messaging, facebook, maps, browsing, market browsing, music player, ... angry birds and a couple other games for giggles. I have been pretty impressed.

I would still start as close to "scratch" as possible, clear cache, factory reset, load KD1, let it sit and does its thing a bit (5-10 minutes?). Load the oem gingerbread release and again let it do its thing a bit. Before you load your first app, run the stock ones, like the crappy browser and see what kind of performnace you're seeing. Init wifi and see how that performs. Put it through its paces as a stock device. If you have really bad performance on a "pristine" device, maybe you got a bad device. I have come to expect a certain number of brand new workstations I roll out at work to be clunkers. Maybe you ogt one. Anyway, if it performs okay as a stock device, load you apps one at a time and pause to test the effects of the new install.
Good luck!

i hear you. i've hated it after one day. it was hard for me coming from htc (n1, hd2) to sgs4g. it doesn't feel solid hardware-software marriage. and it is strange bcz you'd expect more from samsung.
in the end it's a subjective feeling, so don't expect crowd of support. everyone has his own experience.

My mom just got an Infuse 4G last night. She's unhappy with the stock ROM (rather, she's not liking it). Realistically I am using this opportunity to break the woman into smartphones, and the Infuse 4G is a great one with a screen that she can read (I love the look of that AMOLED, it's making me want a Samsung when it's time to upgrade).
The question is, which ROM is the most user-friendly? If you read my sig you'll see I have an Atrix 4G myself and am currently running an Alpha ROM so you'll know I am no stranger to the mod community. I just don't want to go from ROM to ROM to ROM showing her each one, wasting my entire day reflashing her phone. If anyone can come up with one or two suggestions for me to try for her, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for something ICS-like, smooth as butter, and not over-the-top like some of the Atrix guys like to go. Thanks for your help!

Imho, find out what she wants out of the phone and tweak it with apps. Stick with stock froyo and avoid the grief.
Ex. Big text battery indicator to show battery. Business calendar is better than stock. Go launcher is better than stock. Show her how to put direct dial shortcut on the screen etc...show her the widgets.
Leave the rom alone because everything works.
From my experience, it's the app and how to use the phone...not the ROM
For better battery life, odin flash one of the stock gingerbread leaks and leave it. KK4 leak would be OK. KL2 is better but tw30 is messed up on it. I like the stock froyo but the battery life sucks.

See I'm attempting to throw CatyRom on it, the ICS app tray is really what I'm after. Something like that would keep it simple for her to find things without having to go through the app drawer which is what has overloaded her in the past. She absolutely refuses to use an iPhone because of this.

Hah. I thought this thread was a joke when I read the subject line.
Well at this point it we have a handful of really good stable, infuse based roms. So it's all about what color she wants really lol.
Have her take a look at the screenshots for : Zeus, Caty, Bionix, Numas, Victory rom, or infused(old one but a goodie). And pick which one is astheticaly pleasing to her.
Nah, no joke. I made some modifications that allow single-touch activation of apps/tools but other than that she seems happy with Caty. She's a blue person, so it worked in my favor.
It seems odd that someone who has had no experience with smartphones minus playing with someone's iPhone and hating it would want to jump head-long into the ROM world but she's seen the difference it made in my phone. ICS on my Atrix is great, and I am hoping that one day you guys get it running on the Infuse, it seems like a good phone and you folks seem like an intelligent bunch.
Zeus (gb rom).
Plus:
Bluetooth and wifi are working good. Good battery. GPS is good.
Minus (common to ALL gb roms):
HDMI out does not work
I'm wondering just in case GB starts to lose support from app developers. I'd like to know if ics is 100% stable at this point, and all features work. I'm all about stability and having everything work the way it was intended.
Bling is cool, as long as it doesn't introduce glitches and hitches.

Well, GB is pretty dead too, according to some here. But at least it's 100% stable. (at least the revenant rom is) But after perusing the JB threads, it would seem that there are still issues to be ironed out. It may be "good enough" for some, but good enough is not good enough for me.
I guess it looks like I'll be staying with GB for as long as possible. The only reason I upgraded to GB was because some apps no longer work on Froyo.
If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

OK, please elaborate more. On JB, does flash work? GPS? And what go you mean GB doesn't have any features? I mean, GB works 100% as far as apps and functionality so I'm confused. It does what I ask it to. What would JB give me that GB doesn't? Are you talking about bells and whistles?

I still use GB. I would not describe myself as a heavy user though. I use the phone mostly for the call, text and camera function.
I like my gmail, calendar and contacts sync'ed.
I don't have all the fb, twitter etc
When I tested out JB, I found a few things I liked:
1. gtalk updated better.
2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.
There were others but I forget...
For my phone, I still like the simpler GB interface and the battery life (less processes running means less battery usage)
fwiw, Entropy said his cm9 was stable..and "dead" too. Supposedly he had a more updated one but never release. Supposedly, aremo/he may have a different cm10?..I'm not sure though...
My final thoughts...to each his own...find something that you like...

2. gmail had other options. Scrollable widget. Calendar had scrollable widget also. Calendar has more detailed display
3. Chrome worked. Native Browser was better.
4. Google body (now defunct-ed) worked..it needed a 3.0+ platform.
5. I don't use it but others like the theme engine.
6. The weather update on the lock screen was a nice touch.
7. The quick launch from the lock screen was neat...although I don't usually use the lock screen.
8. Back up and restore apps is more comprehensive.
9. Google Now and Google Keep is neat to try.

Thanks for the info. I don't see anything on that list that is a must have though. Hopefully, GB will be supported by app devs until next spring when my contract is up. Carry on.
yeah..nothing must have..just interesting to test.
jb may be a step up in the most updated device designed to run it with support from chip set manufacturer. (ex: gn2, sgs3, sgs4)
for the most part, i prefer a tablet or pc...my phone is mostly a phone/digital assistant...but i suspect i'm a minority here

If you actually flash a Jb ROM I'm willing to bet you won't find something you use daily that has any issues I'm using carbon nightly and I don't have any issues....honestly GB doesn't have really any features I couldn't be on GB anymore

Well...unless it was fixed recently...camera is still wonky is it not? Stuttering with 720p recording...that's pretty major to a lot of people, although I myself can live with out it...it was a pretty major downside of jb/ics...on the occasion I wanted to get a video I really couldn't :/, but IMHO that one con doesn't weigh out the pros
But you can't say gb doesn't really have any features when they do have a fully working camera...just saying

But most people realize they're not going to be shooting hollywood movies with the thing. I'm not complaining though, it's good enough for what I need.
I thought ICS was the only version for the infuse with working full encryption?
I have 10GB of organized GB Roms/themes, ICS Roms/themes(lost files ), Tweaks for GB/ICS, all old recovery stuff, and 3 open source kernels Samsung had released. I have talked to 3-4 forum moderators for approval and I will be creating around 150 links for the infuse community for lost/broken links and there may/may not be broken but will all be on dev-host 4 u guys. I am hopping this will help u guys b4 I leave. I am hopping to make this post within the next week or 2 in the general section. Cheers :thumbup:
I am also going to be posting all the links to EVERY official post
Note* this is all I have left, I had a partition failure and I lost all I had but these files due to being on DropBox, I am still hopping to retrieve my missing files and Ken has been helping me all the way!=)
